Background: There are different opinions about looting after disasters. Many believe that post-disaster chaos is the best chance for antisocial behavior.
Aim: The purpose of this systematic review is to explore the literature regarding looting after disasters, its different dimensions, and to examine coping strategies.
Methods: This study is a systematic review of publications about disaster-related looting and antisocial behavior, and the study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar were the primary databases used for the search of literature. From the 2,467 records identified through database searching in the early stage; after investigating and analyzing the characteristics and content analysis, 8 articles were included in the final stage of this review study to answer the study questions.
Results: The findings of this systematic review that emerged from the content analysis of included studies are summarized in four themes: socioeconomic status (SES), social capital, media, and looting prevention.
Conclusions: To reduce looting, governments should incorporate looting into disaster planning, take help from community capacities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and try to increase social capital in the long term. Also, correct information transmission by the media is an important part of post-disaster looting management.

Importance: Youth living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are increasingly choosing automated insulin delivery (AID) systems to manage their blood glucose. Few systematic reviews meta-analyzing results from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are available to guide decision-making.
Objective: To study the association of prolonged AID system use in an outpatient setting with measures of glucose management and quality of life in youth with T1D.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) has become a leading technique in hair transplantation, yet optimal management of the donor area remains a clinical challenge. This systematic review analyzes intraoperative and postoperative interventions applied to the donor area in FUE hair transplantation, with a focus on both clinical outcomes and the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in tissue repair, inflammatory response, and regenerative processes. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and EMBASE (January 2000-June 2025), identifying clinical studies that evaluated donor area treatments and reported outcomes related to healing, inflammation, infection, and patient satisfaction.
